A survivor who spent a decade breaking free from addiction has detailed a 2012 encounter with pornographic photographer Raymond “R.C.” Horch and his son Eugen at their Philadelphia home, a site now designated by investigators as a “house of horrors” linked to the search for seven missing or unidentified women, according to reporting by the New York Post.
The 2012 Encounter at the Philadelphia House
The survivor, who was experiencing homelessness and using drugs at the time, met Raymond Horch and his son in Camden, New Jersey, before traveling with them to their property in Philadelphia. According to her account, she lost consciousness after consuming drugs and awoke to find Raymond Horch standing over her and taking photographs. Fearing for her safety, she managed to escape the property. Eugen Horch subsequently threatened her, stating that he could kill her and that nobody would ever find her.
Prior Incidents and Police Investigation
Raymond Horch, who wore an eye patch and was locally known as the “one-eyed” man, had a documented criminal history prior to the current investigation. Police records show he previously attempted to kidnap a nine-year-old girl in 2009. Raymond Horch died last year, while his son Eugen is currently held in custody on weapons charges as law enforcement agencies investigate potential connections to missing persons.
During a June raid of the property, investigators recovered a cache of hazardous chemicals, firearms, literature concerning serial killers, and over one million digital files containing disturbing video material. The recovered media includes images and video recordings of women who were reported missing between 2012 and 2023. Upon learning of the house’s discovery, the survivor contacted detectives to share details regarding the threats she received and women she believes may be connected to the case.
